Alexa does not understand Numbers like 28 within Dates in German
For the AMAZON.Date Slot, Alexa does not seem to understand numbers like 28 or 25 as the day. It just does not resolve to anything, no mattter how clearly I speak out "Achtundzwanzig" (28 in German). It works with 11, 15 and the like, but with many others it doesn't - 28 in particular.
example where it does not work:
"Achtundzwanziger August 2018".

Hello,
Thank you for submitting an Alexa Skills Feature Request. We are happy to inform you that the feature you have requested has launched!
We can confirm that the most recent version of the AMAZON.DATE built-in slot resolves dates containing numbers like “acht und zwanzigste/r” and “fünf und zwanzigste/r” correctly to either “28” or “25”.
Please note that the date is provided to your service in ISO-8601 date format, which means the utterance “acht und zwanzigster august zwei tausend achtzehn” returns the value “2018-08-28”, for example*:
‘slots’: {
‘date’: {
‘confirmation_status’: ‘NONE’,
‘name’: ‘date’,
‘resolutions’: None,
‘value’: ‘2018-08-28’}
}
- The slot name for AMAZON.DATE being “date” here.
Please review our developer documentation for more information on built-in slot types: https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/custom-skills/slot-type-reference.html#date

Maybe because you have to say "Achtundzwanzigster" and not "Achtundzwanziger" =D
